CHAPTER ONE OFF ON A HOLIDAY ADVENTURE For a whole week the children watched and waited for the wishing-chair to grow its wings again. It didn't sprout them at all! The wings had vanished as soon as it had arrived safely back in the playroom. 'I hope its magic isn't getting less,' said Mollie, one day, as they sat in the playroom, playing ludo together. It was their very favourite game, and they always laughed at Binky because he made such a fuss when he didn't get 'home' before they did.

As they sat playing together they felt a welcome draught. 'Oh, lovely. A breeze at last!' said Mollie thankfully. 'I do really think this is just about the hottest day we've had these holidays!' 'The wind must have got up a bit at last,' said Peter. 'Blow, wind, blow- you are making us lovely and cool.' 'Funny that the leaves on the trees aren't moving, isn't it?' said Binky.

Mollie looked out of the open door at the trees in the garden. They were perfectly still! 'But there isn't a breeze,' she said, and then a sudden thought struck her. She looked round at the wishing-chair, which was standing just behind them. Look!' she cried. 'How silly we are! It isn't the wind- it's the wishing-chair that has grown its wings again. They are flapping like anything!'

So they were. The children and Binky sprang up in delight. 'Good! We could just do with a lovely cool ride up in the air today,' said Peter. 'Wishing-chair, we are very pleased with you!'
